Bruce Foxton is hopeful that all three former members of The Jam will reunite to attend a new exhibition in their honour — but warned fans there is no chance of a musical reunion.

Getting all three of the musicians in the same room has been a nigh on impossible task since their acrimonious split when Paul Weller dissolved the band in 1982.

Bassist Foxton has revealed he is on speaking terms with both singer Weller and drummer Rick Buckler — but the latter pair are still not on good terms. Now he would like to see the exhibition The Jam: About the Young Idea together with his former bandmates, which opens on Friday.

Foxton said: “All three of us are proud of what we achieved with the band. That’s how it should be left, particularly seeing as it’s so long ago now.”
